The benefits

"The greatest discovery of my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his attitude of mind."

James Truslow Adams (1878-1949) American historian & writer

Absence, stress and lack of motivation will all affect your workforce’s productivity and therefore directly impact the health of your business. Investing in the regular services of a coach will provide your staff with an opportunity to discuss and work through any personal or business issues that may be affecting their productivity, or their enjoyment of the job.

Just 4 coaching sessions could save a huge recruitment fee!

With today’s escalating recruitment and training costs many businesses are seeing the benefits of investing in a short term coaching programme to help motivate and retain their existing staff. On average it will only take 3 or 4 coaching sessions to make a difference to an individual and to motivate them into taking positive action. That’s an investment of no more than £250 per employee for the significant returns listed below.

The benefits to your business

The most common benefits of investing in a coaching programme or ‘resident coach’ to a business include:

A clear demonstration of a business’s commitment to the welfare of its staff

Reduction in staff turnover and therefore dramatic cost saving

Improvement in productivity and commitment to the business

Reduction in stress levels

An increase in energy and creativity

The benefits to your staff

A recent study by the International Coach Federation reported a wide range of benefits to individuals who had received coaching in the workplace. These included:

Increased self awareness – 68%

Better goal setting – 62%

More balanced life – 61%

Lower stress levels – 57%

Furthermore, the 2004 CIPD training and development survey produced some very favourable results, with 99% of respondents agreeing that coaching could deliver tangible benefits to individuals and organisations. In addition, 92% also agreed that when coaching is managed effectively it could have a positive impact on an organisation’s bottom line.
